The fact-check explores claims by Sen. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, in a Sunday op-ed for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Smith and other Democrats have criticized SB 600/HB 7013 for not going
far enough to address problems that came up during the state's 2012
presidential election.

"This bill mandates only two things that will address concerns from the
last election," he wrote. "It allows persons to correct an absentee ballot if they did not
sign it and requires an extra two hours a day for early voting.
Everything else in this bill is discretionary. Under SB 600, Broward,
Dade, Palm Beach, Duval, Orange, Hillsborough, Jackson, Franklin, Dixie
and all the rest of our 67 counties can do exactly what they did in
2012, with the exception of just two more hours per day for early
voting. Nothing else is mandated. Nothing else is changed."
